Best Hotels in Boston

We have stayed at the Park Plaza several times and we have always been pleased. The main lobby is undergoing a renovation and we were disappointed that the chandelier that used to hang in the lobby has been moved. Out with the old and in with the new might not be the best idea for this historic hotel.

I spent a long weekend here with my entire family. It was a great experience, located in the heart of Boston, just walking distance to the T, a gigantic shopping center, Boston commons, movie theaters, what can I say? everything! Food a bit pricey in the hotel, but then again, just walk to Newbury, Boylston or anywhere and delicious more affordable options are there for you. Great spacious room (junior suite), amazing view of the city (22nd floor), indoor swimming pool (kids went crazy!), friendly staff. Would love to come back in the summer!

Excellent location with indoor connection to the mall and the convention center. I was there for a conference at the convention center and it only took me 3 mins to walk from my hotel room to the convention center. I didn't even need to take my coat with me eventhough it's freezing outside. The mall has many shops and restaurant and a nice food court. From the airport you can take the Massport shuttle for just $5 and it takes you right to the door of Sheraton. The hotel gives you a $5 voucher for every day that you waive housekeeping - good for dining within the hotel. I used them for my breakfasts at the coffee shop. In-room wifi costs about $10 a day. Walkable to many nice restaurants on Boylston Street and Newbury Street. Best location in Boston.

Water never completely drained from the shower cubicle. There was always a little puddle left there. Apart from that everything was good. Rooms are basic, but location is the best part of this hotel. Close to everything !

Hotels

Many of hotels in Boston, especially those in the downtown area, bring tourists within walking distance of some of the most historical sites in the United States such as Faneuil Hall and Boston Common. Back Bay is another area of town that offers a vast selection of Boston hotels. This neighborhood features city tours, shops, restaurants, and notable landmarks. Regardless of what area you stay in, you’ll find a wide range of accommodations from luxury lodging and trendy boutique hotels to comfortable Boston resorts.

Transportation

Vacationers like to book car rentals, so they have the freedom to explore the Boston area at their will. As a general rule, avoid driving in the actual city though due to the congested streets and expensive parking.

For those without their own sets of wheels, The MBTA, also called The T, provides both a metro and bus system to areas within the city, as well as neighboring towns. The T is one of the most common ways of traveling around Boston because it’s both reliable and affordable. Once you arrive at your destination, you’ll find a number of other attractions and activities within walking distance.

Travel Basics

Boston is a pedestrian-friendly town with historic tours and plenty of sights to see from your own two feet; It’s no wonder they call it the Walking City. However, when you’re hitting the pavement to explore, leave your flip flops and stilettos at home. Boston is notorious for its uneven cobblestone roads, which are a recipe for twisted ankles, so pack a pair of comfy sneakers instead.

Boston is a friendly and inviting destination, but just as it is the case in any bustling metropolis, the possibility of crime does exist. To avoid seeming like an easy target, keep a strong hold on your backpack or purse at all times, and travel with your wallet in your front pocket. Especially at night, stick to well-lit areas, use the buddy system, and don’t hop on empty trolleys or trains.

Weather

It can be tricky to dress for the weather in Boston as it can vary greatly from morning to afternoon. For some of the best weather and temperatures though, the months between June and November are a prime time to visit. Summer temperatures sometimes reach 80 F and bring humidity, while the autumn months are slightly cooler and more comfortable.

If you’re planning to visit Boston during the winter months, don’t forget to pack boots, a warm jacket, and even scarves, mittens, and hats. Winter temperatures range between the 20 and 40 F, and snowflakes are a common occurrence. If you’re not a fan of snow, we recommend holding off on visiting until summer or autumn to avoid trekking knee-high in the white stuff!

Boston caters to the weather serving up New England chowder on chilly days, breezy swan boat rides on those muggy afternoons, and a comfortable stay regardless of what season you book your Boston vacation.
